MINE
Lena Monroe has spent years perfecting the role of the good wife : writing fairytales by day, playing the part of Mark’s flawless partner by night. But when a car accident lands her in the arms of Dr. Daniel Carter, her husband’s old rival and the man with a scandalous past, Lena’s carefully constructed world starts to unravel.
Broken Rules
Vanessa swore she was done with men who only wanted to own her. After Daniel, the brilliant, cruel neurosurgeon who seduced her away from her old boss and then left her with scars and secrets, she’s tired of Doms who confuse pain with power. She’s even more tired of pretending she doesn’t miss the man she left behind.

Who am I?
That depends on which side of the story you’re standing on.
I write romances where power is negotiated, desire is complicated, and love is never harmless. My characters cross lines deliberately, and they pay for it. I’m drawn to the moment where restraint fails—and to what survives afterward.
Trained as a psychologist and certified as a yoga teacher, I’m fascinated by contradiction. Control and surrender. Discipline and obsession. What breaks us—and what rebuilds us differently.
When I’m not writing, I’m teaching, reading between silences, or quietly mapping out my next story.
If you think you understand forbidden passion, you may not have met mine yet.

YOURS
In Geneva, “happily ever after” is only the beginning of the negotiation.
Lena Monroe didn’t fall in love with Daniel Carter for the fantasy. She chose him knowing the cost: his past, his scars, his children, his ghosts. What she wants now isn’t perfection. It’s a life that feels real—mornings with coffee, teenagers slamming doors, pages to write, a man who doesn’t let her disappear.
On paper, she has it.
A home with Daniel.
Lucas, fifteen, testing every boundary he can find.
His eleven-year-old daughter who adores Lena and quietly tries to fix what the adults are too tired to say aloud.
And a first dark romance ready to be published, where she finally puts her own shadows on the page.
But Geneva doesn’t care about paper.
While Lena learns how to exist in a family that isn’t built on appearances, Daniel is pulled deeper into the world he thought he could keep separate: the off-grid lab, the Calix project, the line between saving lives and rewriting what life means.
THE SCEAU BLANC SAGA
Mine
She chose her marriage. He found her anyway. Lena Monroe thought one night with Daniel Carter was a mistake she could bury. Then she became Mara Black — and he saw straight through it. Dark, explicit, and achingly honest. This is not a love story. Not yet. 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Note to readers:

Yours
She said no. He knew she was lying.
Lena Monroe chose her marriage. She went back to Mark, back to her life, back to everything safe and suffocating.
Daniel Carter let her go.
For about forty-eight hours.
Now he’s watching from across Geneva — her new photos, her new name, her hunger bleeding through every post. Mara Black. His fingerprints all over her brand-new skin.
She thinks she can write about desire without living it. She thinks she can keep texting him at 2am and still belong to someone else.
She’s not in control. She never was.
Yours is the surrender book. The one where the line doesn’t hold, the choice gets unmade, and everything they’ve been pretending becomes devastatingly real.
Some things you can’t unlearn. He’s one of them.
🌶️🌶️🌶️ Explicit. Dual POV. Mature readers only.
📚 Book 2 of the Carter Dynasty Trilogy.

Broken Rules
I was Daniel Carter’s perfect submissive. Until he left me broken, used up, and hollowed out.
Now I’m stitching myself back together one medical residency shift at a time. Healing. Control. I swore no man would ever own me again.
Then Mark Monroe strides back into my life. CEO of Geneva’s most powerful medical empire, my former boss, and the man I always secretly admired, even before everything changed.
He wants revenge on Daniel for stealing and discarding his wife. I just want Daniel gone from my mind forever.
Mark has become harder over the years, crueler, the kind of man who takes what he wants, including other men’s wives. I know I should stay away.
But this weekend, when his voice drops low and he says, “On your knees, baby girl,” every promise I made to myself crumbles.
I’m terrified of surrendering again. Terrified of how much I still want him.
Yet the way he touches me, protects me, claims me, it isn’t just dominance. It’s something deeper. Something that makes the broken parts of me feel whole.
Mark Monroe doesn’t want my submission.
He wants to own me. Completely. Mind. Body. Soul.
And the most terrifying part? I’m starting to believe I was always meant to be his.
BROKEN RULES is a dark, obsessive romance packed with corporate medical intrigue, healing through raw power exchange, and a possessive CEO who’ll burn the world down for what’s his. Spicy. Gritty. Emotionally brutal. HEA guaranteed, but you’ll bleed for it.

Years ago, in a hospital room heavy with antiseptic and unfinished promises, Noah made his best friend Liam and the woman he loved swear something neither of them truly understood.

Now Noah is gone.
But the promise remains.

And then Sophie Dubois comes back.
Sophie has always burned for Liam. Always known the darkness behind his perfect restraint. She should stay away from him—and from the fragile life Élise is trying to hold together.
But some desires refuse to stay buried.
In Geneva’s most dangerous circles, where power hides behind old money and older secrets, love is never simple and loyalty can become a weapon.
Sooner or later, someone will have to break the promise.

Important Note from the Author
This novel is not a BDSM manual, and it isn’t an American-style dark romance filled with mafia violence or shock scenes.
It is the story of Liam Morel — a young man struggling to reconcile who he is with what the world expects him to be. His dominance is psychological, shaped by grief, loyalty, and the rigid traditions of the Sceau Blanc, an old Swiss society built on reputation and control.
Inside you will find explicit scenes, emotional power dynamics, grief, manipulation, and trauma.
If you’re looking for a cozy romance, this is probably not your book.
But if you enjoy stories about complicated people making impossible choices — welcome.
